READ: 1 Chronicles 1:7-17
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
2 Chronicles 1:12
Money and wealth are very difficult to come by. No matter how hard you work, the ground yields very little. It truly takes a divine grace to come by abundance of a certain order. God gave this special abundance to Solomon. In the days of Solomon, silver became like stones that were lying on the ground outside. That is indeed a miracle!
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. And THE KING MADE SILVER AND GOLD AT JERUSALEM AS PLENTEOUS AS STONES, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price. And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
2 Chronicles 1:14-17
There is no need to waste your emotions and to become envious, jealous or offended at something God Himself has done. Promotion does not come from the east or the west. The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich (Proverbs 10:22).
Do not be offended when God chooses to bless someone! The wealth of America irritates and offends many people. It would have been better for the wealth of America to stir up a desire in you to learn how they did it. You cannot learn from people you hate. You cannot truly benefit from someone you despise and have ill-will towards.
